RESOLUTIONS:
The delegates of the Republican party in
Carbon county, in convention assembled
hereby declare and publish the principles
of the party in Carbon county as follows:
ResolUed, That we distinctly pledge our
selves TO the strict maintenance of q pro-
tective tariff which will continue to shut our
ports to all such goods as can be manufac-
tured or produced in our own land, there
by giving employment to our own people,
keeping the rate of wages in our country

than corresponding artisans in Europe, and
at the same time adding to the aggregate
wealth of our country instead of enriching
| foreign lands at our own cost,
| ReS0tred, That we denounce the sup
| preston of the Republican vote in the
| Southern states by means of the shot gun,
the tissue ballot, and kindred outrages, and
that we demand free ballot and a fair
count, north, south, east and west; in all
places and under all circumstances.
Resolved, That we denounce the hy-
pocracY and sham of the pretended Civil
Service Reform of the administration of
President Cleveland, and call upon the
President and his subordinates to have the
courage to call removal for political
reasons by its right name.
ReSolUed. That the administration of
the present Board of County Commissioners
has been most extravagant and wasteful,
and we demand that in the expenditure of
public funds the same rule shall be observed
by County Commissioners and other public
officers as by honest men in the manage
ing of their private affairs, viz: Buy no
more than is needed and that at fair
price,
Resolued, That we favor the enactment
of such immigration laws as shall prevent
the landing of the insane, paupers, and
criminals, of Europe, and laborers imported
under contract to work for pauper wages.
thereby degrading American labor to the
level of that of England and Continental
Europe.
ReSolued, That we extend to Hon G. S.
PaInell and Hon. w. 4. Gladstone our
heartiest sYmpathies in their efforts to
secure for Ireland the blessings of Cons
tntional Liberty, and our best wishes for
their success.
Resolued, That we endose the ticket
nominated by the late State Convention of
of our party, and pledge ourselves to the
support OF the same, and declare ourselves
to be in full accord with the platform adopt
ed by that convention.
ReSOlsed,-That we endorse the admin
istration of Governor Beaver az wise, pro-
gressiYe and patriotic, and that we commend
the course of Representative Anthony w
tellgent and judicious member of the
Legislature, and a staunch Republican.
Resolued, That we pledge ourselves TO
give our earnest support to The ticket here
nominated, and use our utmost endeavors
to elect the same.
